Queenstown’s Tiniest Luxury Home Sold Following High Demand

A 28-square-meter luxury tiny home in Queenstown’s Jacks Point suburb has sold following significant buyer interest, with the property carrying a price guide of $2.4 million.

The property, located on Woolshed Road within the Hanleys Farm development, was sold as a single lot. It comprises two sections totaling 1,400 square meters of lakeside land beside Willow Pond.

New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty agents Julia Franklin and Gareth Ireland reported that the campaign generated hundreds of enquiries, with an offer received during the first week of marketing.

Gareth Ireland noted that interest remained consistent throughout the process, stating, There were enquiries coming in until the day it sold. Typically, you get a flurry of inquiry and it tapers off reasonably quickly, within a week or two.

Property Specifications and Design

The designer bach, referred to as the Boat House, was inspired by a trip to Japan and features dark finishes and round windows.

Despite the small footprint of the residence, the sale included several high-end amenities:

• A double garage
• A gym
• A golf simulator
• Plans for a family home

The double garage is currently utilized for gym facilities and golf practice.

A local buyer acquired the property and intends to build two houses on the double section.
